In many ways today was the best day of cycling yet on our adventure. It drizzled rain for about three hours in the morning, never very hard. The rest of the day was cloudy until the sun came out just as we got to Marion. The temperatures were in the mid-sixties. The back roads we travelled were mainly farms, particularly chicken production. The best of today was almost no wind! We had some hills but some areas were flat! Really the first flat roads since our first day.
We’re spending the night at the Marion United Methodist Church. Pastor Dave says they’ve been hosting cyclists since the inception of the route back in 1976. Leafing through some of the old logs, it’s amazing the people who have passed through. Steve and I are visitors two and three for the 2018 season.
Tomorrow we take the ferry across the Ohio River into Illinois.
